Detailed Lesson Plan in Trigonometry

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, student should be able to:
1. Define the six trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of triangle (cognitive).
2. Explain why the six trigonometric ratios are trigonometric functions (affective).
3. Demonstrate the six trigonometric functions to the class (cognitive).

III. Learning Activities
Teachers Activity
1. Daily Routine
Good afternoon, class
Alyssa will you lead us in prayer
Thank you, Alyssa. You may now take
your seat
Ms. Charlayne, will you kindly check whos
present and whos absent for today.
2. Review
Before we proceed to our new lesson, lets
have a quick review. What was our
previous lesson
Thats right. So how do we convert angle
measure form degree to radians and
radians to degree

3. Motivation
Now that you know how to convert degree
to radians and radians to degree, lets
have a simple game, class. (Showing
a hunt-a-word puzzle). In one minute I
want you to find the six words below.
Have you found them all?
I want the group of JC to show us the
words below.Can you stand up and box
the words below?

Students Activity
Good afternoon too, maam
Alyssa will lead the prayer
Students will sit down

Its all about on how to convert Radians to


degree.
In converting the angle measure from
degree to radians we use the

180

radians to degree we use the

180
.

and

Students will listen


Students will look for the words
Yes maam!
The group of JC will box the words

Thank you. You may now take your seat.

B. Procedures
1. Presentation
Have you already encounter these
words.
Today we will be discussing the six
trigonometric functions.

The group of JC will take their seat

Not yet, maam.


Students will listen

2. Abstraction
(Showing the cut out triangles)
We have a right triangle ABC with the
right angle at C and the two legs a and
b and c the hypotenuse. With respect
to the acute angle , side a is the side
opposite to , the b would be the side
adjacent to and the c is the
hypotenuse.
(Showing the six trigonometric
functions) This are the six trigonometric
functions of an acute angle. Before we
find the trigonometric functions of our
triangle, let us read first the definitions of it.
Let us first find the sin, firstwe need
to find the side opposite and the
hypotenuse of the triangle.
What is the side opposite of this
triangle and the hypotenuse?
To label it, we will write

Students will listen

Students will read the definitions.

The side a is the side opposite


and the side b is the side hypotenuse.

a
c .

Thats how we find sin .


Now to findcos , we need to find the
side adjacent and the hypotenuse of
the triangle.So how we will label the cos ?
Very good. In tan , we need the side
opposite and the side adjacent. How we
will be label it?
For the remaining three functions, these
three are the opposites to the first
functions. The cot is opposite to
the function of tangent where the

Cos =

Tan =

a
b

b
c

cot is side adjacentover side


opposite. How about the cot , how we
will label it?

Cot =

b
a

In sec and csc , their opposites are the


cos and sin . So our sec =
the csc =

c
b

and

c
a . Thats how we find the

six trigonometric functions. We will


only follow the definition of this
trigonometric functions.
Did you get on how to find the
trigonometric functions?

Yes, maam

Do you have any questions?


No maam.
3. Applications
